Northbrook Awards Night
Veteran Club athlete Jack Langman presented the awards at Northbrook's Annual
Awards Night on 21 January. A glittering evening thanks particularly to those
who sparkled in their bronze, silver or gold. To complement the many worthy
award winners, there was a presidential DVD, super singing from Kevin, some
interesting dancing, scrumptious hot food and of course a top quality Bob speech.
Winners of the best outfit prize were Joe and Kay Kelly (pictured).
All in all a great success, and work has already begun to make next years even
better.
